The cause of an early morning fire north of San Diego was an electrocuted bird falling from an active power line
A bird carrying a snake in its talons struck power lines north of San Diego, sparking a hillside fire just west of The Merge.
San Diego Police arrived to the location on Dunhill Street near the intersection of Interstates 5 and 805 just before 6 a.m.
Flames were burning very close to businesses including the General Atomics building, officials said.
Officers called in San Diego Fire-Rescue crews who contained the fire within an hour.
Fire officials initially told NBC 7 a bird with a snake in its mouth was electrocuted on a power line and fell to the ground, sparking the fire. A photo released by officials later shows the snake in the hawk's grasp.
"A hawk that hit the high voltage power line, caught fire, and fell to the ground," SD Fire-Rescue spokesperson Lee Swanson said in a written release.
There were no structures damaged and no evacuations ordered.
This area of San Diego is home to many companies in the region's biochemical industry.
There are laws against fraud, even in Harry Reid’s baliwick.
LOTS of folks here are Dims, but if I ain’t black, Hispanic, under 10 years old, crippled or have a brain injury, a Gofundme account isn’t going to get any takers.
Us old widowed whiteys with a few screws loose don’t stand a chance. But thanks, anyway.
It's not illegal per se, so much as that he has a monopoly on it.
See? Especially now that the treadmill beat him up when he didn’t comply...
Gorn? lol
Has their copyright ended? lol
I’m off to bed. Give my regards to any Newbies on site, and I’ll see you in the morning!
In the animated series, they had Gorn students at Star Fleet Academy. I don’t know who had the post in the animated series, but Ray Walston had a pivotal role to play in the movies.
The animated series also had some “Devil in the Dark” students, who could move through solid rock as easily as we move through air.
No relation to Timmy, of course.
I cannot imagine Gorn in the academy, lol
It was challenging for them.
Did you ever watch the HISHE for Star Trek Into Darkness?
In case you missed it:

It probably impacted the copyright somehow.
That was funny
Mrs. ArGee came in as I was watching it and, of course, saw, “Has anyone seen my uniform?”
Timing is everything.
I think that was the best HISHE ever.
Today's tiny orange Persian kitten is sorry it's Monday for all of you.
Stand at Attention Cadet Kzin!
Clever kitten! I have a terrible time now that they’ve taken real buttons off everything, and you have to find some hidden contact point even to turn it on or off.
If my account ever goes dark, it will probably be because I’ve just given up.
Kzin Cadet just knows that a Smart wi-fi can opener is ready to hit the market...and not too soon.
It needs to be networked with a device that will convey the can to the opener.
My catz eat dry food.
What a cute little pushed in face!!! SQUEE!!!
Ungh...
Monday morning. And I’m thinking of the few things I need that I forgot to pick up and don’t know how I will get along without them.
Unngh...
I just started singing Monday Monday for some reason.
Good morning Face.
From the earlier Star Trek talk which I couldn’t follow even though I’m a Trekkie, can I make a leap of faith and say that this cute, adorable Cadet Kzin is none other than Data’s cat?
He is staring at what appears to be a picture of the cosmos.
